None of the employees dismissed in the past two years had received an exit package, Pichai added.

According to the New York Times report, two unnamed Google executives said then-Chief Executive Larry Page asked Rubin to resign after the company confirmed a complaint by a female employee about a sexual encounter in a hotel room in 2013.

A Google investigation found the woman's complaint to be credible, the paper reported, but the company has not confirmed this.

Rubin has said he did not engage in misconduct and left Google of his own accord.
